While wild flowers bloom outside, is your home decorated in a rustic country house style? This type of furnishing complements a cottage garden perfectly. However, beautiful decorative items do not have to be limited to the interior. On this page you will find creative ideas and helpful tips on how to build your own country house style garden decorations. There is definitely something suitable for you.
How can I make country house style garden decorations myself?
To make country house style garden decorations yourself, use everyday objects such as cutlery, kitchen sieves and paint cans, natural materials such as natural stones, willow branches and tree roots, and creative ideas such as trellises made from umbrella frames.
Garden decorations from the kitchen
Cutlery
Bend old silver cutlery and attach it to the garden gate or wooden fence as a door handle.
Kitchen strainers
Hang old kitchen strainers on a cord in the tree and put a flowering plant in it. However, there should be no seat underneath, as soil or dripping water could trickle out of the sieve. You can also make impressive hanging baskets from kitchen sieves.
Everyday objects
Beautiful climbing aid
- Separate the frame of an umbrella from the fabric.
- Place the umbrella in a flower bed.
- Let climbing plants such as clematis climb up the frame.
Disused items
Old paint or tin cans find new uses as lanterns.
- Cut small holes in the tin just above the bottom of the can.
- With a little skill you can also cut out flowers or other motifs.
- Drill two small holes further up the can.
- Thread a string through it.
- Put a tea light in the tin.
- Hang the lantern in a tree or use the craft as a table decoration.
Natural material
Small Wall
By stacking natural stones on top of each other, you can build a small partition wall for the garden. For example, you could separate the lawn from the vegetable garden. By the way, insects often use small gaps between the stones as shelter.
pasture fences
Willow fits into every cottage garden. The young branches can be bent easily. In this way you can create impressive wickerwork that serves as a bed border or privacy screen.
Tree roots
You should never throw away tree roots. Even rotten wood looks beautiful if you simply integrate it into the bed. Leave it overgrown with moss.
